Uh...that's exactly what I said.
And as far as the power gains from bolt ons...did you read my post? I said taht my numbers are general and will vary based on a number of factors.
Re-read my first post BEFORE you try flaming or correcting me. As far as the power gains i posted, I'm refering mostly to an ole Import tuner power page from like 3 years ago where they did an Injen intake, 5Zigen fireball catback, and Unorthodox racing SS pulley kit. If I remember correctly, the total gains came out to 24 hp at the greatest point. I'll try to find a link.

your quotes on horsepower gains from flywheel and driveshaft seem very off. I think you're overestimating how much power, if any gain.

Oh yeah as far as GT games, yeah there really accurate, oh yeah 1500 for a lightened flywheel? What's it made out of uranium depleted shells?
GT games are really cool, but don't take EVERYTHING from them as truth, especially the tuning part of the game. tip: IT'S A GAME!!!
The power tuning aspect in GT2 and GT3 are VERY general, the mods, the power, the prices. Please. So if GT3 told you that a intake yields 40 hp gain it must be true right?
so unplug your neck from the PS2 and stick your ass in the driver's seat of a car and maybe you'll learn something. Sheesh.....
Here's the link to the power pages. Hope this helps clear things up.

If you'll notice the gains from the pulley kit....how do you explain those gains from a drivetrain mod???? Hmmm....someone just got flamed.....
